oh hell no. irc bakes computers. i don't go near it.
i warned rain, but she's fearless.
now she... well, she'll step in in a minute.
what was it, 7 hours for one post of links yesterday? her computer really didn't like irc. was already giving her fits but now it's fried. it did that to another of mine too. no... no irc. no irc. no no no...

I meant to just say no thanks... but wow I feel strongly about that place!

Rosclarke, IRC is basically a "public room" where everyone can chat and ask other people questions. It is much like MSN or gTalk or AIM in a way, but is based off another service. I connect to IRC using freenode and a program called Colloquy for my macbook.
